The comedian and break out star of “Girls Trip” told E! News she was wearing an authentic Eritrean princess dress in honor of her father, who is from the east African country.

“My father is from Eritrea,” Haddish told ABC on the red carpet. “He passed away last year, and he said one day I would end up here, and if I ever end up at the Oscars, to honor my people, so I’m honoring my fellow Eritreans.”
